Laughing stocks of world: the sound gets deafening

It was just a few months back when the usual reticent prime minister of India said that the world is laughing at us; it was said in context of disruption of parliament by the opposition. However ever since that comment we have been forced to think again and again that is the world actually laughing at us and if yes then why are they laughing?

From the events that have unfolded in the last decade when Prime Minister ManMohan Singh has been in power the world may have looked at India with losing faith, amusement and disbelief at the same time. Definitely Mr. Singh didn’t look at the past record of his government in last 9 years else he may have realized that the world is indeed laughing at us but it is him who has made the country a laughing stock.

Did the prime minister who was once hailed as economist listened to what the time magazine had to say about his achievements, or how did they rate his tenure in one word as “Underachiever” (ohh yes his men shouted this as an internal affair of this country, only if this was a visa call for Mr. Modi they would have thought otherwise).Only if he could have heard what the common man of this country is saying we would have posed some questions to him?

 For e.g. did the world had a right to laugh at us when we could not even conduct a proper common wealth game when countries around us can host successful Olympics? Or did they had the liberty to laugh when A Raja mislead our innocent PM to loot the country of 1.86 lakh crores and Kapil Sibal ji had a zero loss theory to suggest to the mango people of this country?

Did he himself have a laugh when our growth rates halts to near zero and budget deficit reaches unmanageable heights with the economist Prime Minister running the country? From a surplus balance of payment between 2001-02 and 2003-04 to CAD equivalent to around 5% of GDP, from 2008 when our foreign exchange reserves, which were sufficient to finance 3 years of imports, we are now hardly capable to pay for only six months imports. Or did he manage to laugh when his ministers were caught red handed checking the English grammar of CBI’s report? Did he laughed the night when the Lokpal bill was conspired to be dropped at parliament in midnight and the country was fooled? My sense of humor is quite crude and unfortunately I felt like crying when I recall these things?

And then our external affairs minister whom we saw on TV roaring like a lion and threatening a person asking details of his NGO talking the language of meek and his sound so weak? Where do the bravo and the macho men of congress leave their masculinity when they dealt with china? From people on top of their voice to all of a sudden we saw men in their feminine side advertising a face cream which will clear the intrusion on the face of mother India, I am sure you must had a good laugh on this and if not then laugh out soon because this time the Chinese will had the last laugh. It’s funny to know that we need an army on which we spend 100’s of billion every year when what we could have achieved was just a face cream? It was a shameful surrender that we did in front of the Chinese and retreated back from our own territory in order cajole them to go back to the LAC.

And now the external affairs goes a step ahead and justifies the snooping program by the United States govt, he suggests that it is indeed helpful for anti-terrorism work. I wonder what a humorous day they might have had in the States listening to what our External affairs minister said. For last 9 years we have hardly done anything against terrorism or terrorist and have made some of the most disgusting political motivated moves of suggesting that terrorist such as Ishrat Jahan were indeed innocent people. We have failed to get any kind of access to David Headley from the United States and in fact what use we will have having his access when what he said is we don’t want to believe but then we support snooping by US for anti-terror help. Isn’t this amusing that even Europe which is so close to USA mind being snooped but we don’t mind that. Can any self-respecting nation say what Mr. Khurshid said?

Moving to the comedy of errors the next in list is the recent Jet-Etihad deal and the bilateral agreement with UAE, do you find it amusing that just a week earlier you were in support of this deal and now papers are leaked in media saying that you acted on the advice of your top four minsters? The world finds it funny that you make a decision on one day and then just go back and forth defending and accepting, god please it is so confusing. Either you are at the helm of this country so you accept what you did or else its time you go back home. I was watching a television debate on how your own civil aviation minister suggests that deal can go only after your approval and how the other members in the debate were having good laugh. And the congress party which must have send all his top shots to defend a private person (Mr. Vadra’s ) land deal was missing defending our PM having a relook at the deal.

Our soldiers head were beheaded and your minister held a biryani party for the offending nation PM and then an innocent was hammered in the Pakistani jail and there was hardly anything you could do , didn’t even host a biryani party this time as the Pak PM was not around here , maybe we can do it sometime later.

And the parliamentary democracy that you were so worried about never had a PM as weak and as indecisive as you. What the world must be thinking about us when they realize that it is not you but then an extra constitutional body called the NAC is what runs this govt. One by one this govt has belittled all constitutional bodies, have you ever had a laugh on any one of them. The list of comedy goes long in your tenure and there are numerous episodes I forget to mention which we will definitely recall when we go to vote in 2013-2014 but hope you had a good laugh on all of them till then. My advice : Stop worrying about the world  and take some actions so that the world can have less humor on our expense , that’s not the destiny that we are destined to, we have a far greater future than what your nervous nerves can think of.
